Pre automaton defense update, a little snapshot I forgot I saved.

http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac269/meowzerffxi/automaton-kcc.jpg

Goliard Saio finally dropped for me, despite my usual very bad Nyzul armor luck (I must have hidden Denali Hunter -20 trait). Started putting in actual effort once we knew about the H2H skill increase that came in March, because prior to that bump in H2H skill I never found a PUP "haste build" really viable for anything of consequence (Campaign and soloing DCs to me isn't "of consequence"). I guess I need to work on Enkidu or Usu feet to finish up my PUP haste build now...

Also, still very interested in seeing if Soulsoother or Stormwaker might get Haste somewhere in this new 76+ world... 20%+ gear haste, plus the possibility of getting magical haste from a puppet, plus 5% JA Haste if /45DNC? That's a fast freakin' solo melee. Possible Martial Arts IV trait too, for 20 less base delay - probably at 99PUP if at all, since current tiers are at 25/50/75.

Wargfangs complete!

now for mantis and all them tasty BLM auto ones :O~

4/5 STR merits, one more to go.... ; ;

I'm still deadlocked on the Wargfangs. Can't seem to find enough people to do Tier 2 VNMs with.

After forever-and-a-half...

SpoilerFaith Torque get!

Trial 146 Complete! Pet:macc+10 {mine}

With full nuking gear & attachments, normal nuke on Puddings in Mount Z = 1997. If only I'd gotten the day bonus or if my COR had Drachen Roll...

On a side note: Since puppets cast according to macc/resistance, she still won't cast Blizz4 every time on Puddings and goes for Fire instead (still does 1864). Only on SOME of them did she go for Blizz (the lowest level ones I assume). Before getting my h2h, with Tranq equipped, she went Blizz every cast (at least 1 ice up). So, I conclude Tranq with 1 Ice > macc+10.

So much new stuff coming out @_@ wonder if they're obtainable lowman. I just bought a black tathlum for 8m a month ago and now theres something with double the acc * albeit no atk or that 1dex * things gonna drop to like 2m or something lol. I hope there is a continuation to the wargfangs, one of the h2h's shows 27base dmg, maybe a mantis continuation?

77PUP & STONE V!

Yeah, yeah double post... but, DING.

First on the server from what it seems.

Seventy-six pup
With twenty-three k to go
Thunder IV is nice


My joy at this update could only be expressed in haiku

Cirque Sash and Pants +1 get! Now to work out how to increase fame for head. Currently started working on ws dmg+10% h2h now, gonna take awhile tho =(.

Also what would be the better neck piece now? Cirque or faith?

Working towards Taipan Fangs as an interim weapon until I get the remaining blobs for my HQ wargs...



ftfy, all that "grand" stuff weirds me out. As per your question, this would be the quest you are looking for:

http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/An_Acrididaen_Anodyne

It requires lv. 3 fame in Attohwa. A friend told me to try doing the Resistance Sapper quests and I can confirm that the quests that the Resistance Sapper gives out do in fact give fame. Don't freak out if you're stuck on lv. 1 fame thinking you've got to farm Amoeban Pseudopods.

FYI: It takes roughly the first two non-repeatable quests, "Something in the Air" and "Wayward Wares", plus four or five Resistance sapper quests (repeats give fame, too) to get you from lv. 1 to lv.2 fame. From there, it should be much easier to get from lv. 2 to lv. 3 since other repeatable quests open up that don't require you to wait until the next game day.

Cirque capello +1 get
Cirque pantaloni +1 get

Several long hours..

In your counteragent-injecting misadventures, did you ever notice the same flower yielding the same seals over and over or did it give different seals? The wiki seems to suggest that it's possible that injecting a certain flower will get you the same seals over and over.
